What we need is firmware-independant support. I can live with the PXE-on-BIOS
hack if it's useful, but what we're supposed to have is a driver framework like
the one in GRUB Legacy, not a stub for each firmware type.
Reliing on firmware is problematic, because it's usually proprietary and buggy,
we shouldn't do it if it can be avoided.
